  • Pause it at 1:18:58 for a gangsta rapper.

  • does any1 knows in what episode he elaborates his 2 gate robo build? I remember watching it but cant find it now :/

  • You drink cola now ?

    What happened to the water or the orange juice :P ?

  • he goes random, intending to go protoss, then gets protoss. O.o

  • i didnt like this daily at all, day9's mind go numb when he's playing. he didnt build his 2nd gas at all on the later games lol

    also i''ve been taking everything sean says with a grain of salt, he clearly lack even the most basic mechanics (like getting supply blocked constantly)

  • @brucekentallen First, I thought it was a really good daily, i found myself doing this same thing the other day practicing a 24 probe 4-gate build with exact timings. Its nice to know im on the right track. Secondly, trying to talk and concentrating on the game can be a rare skill to have,. He already said hes messes up quite a bit whenever hes try to play and talk at the same time.

  • @brucekentallen Probably cause he has to comment while playing shitface

  • Good thing there are commercials inbetween the intro

  • how many probes I need to produce constant units from 3 gate robo ?

  • What the fuck fuck what. Either it's the lack of sleep or Day 9 keeps repeating himself..over and over and over again...

  • LOL I thought what happened there LOL

  • 1:35:00 he actually made 4 more zealots after the 4gate that he accidentally sent away so he had a bit more than that, but his point is still valid

  • the video really starts at  1:10:00 thumbs up some people can see!

  • if i was in tristins position after the failed 4 gate, a transition to robo immortals and zealots heavy one base plays might work as well cuz your oppenet will most definitly 100% expand so just pump out more immortals than him and zealots

  • cannon rush!!!

  • OH CRAP! No, I can't handle that. LOL

  • just skip to just past 1 hour mark

  • This was educational. The intro made me a man.

  • i want that shirt! but not in blue.

  • bless anyone who waited anxiously on the edge of their seats, all the while just waiting, wondering....where is Day9, where are you

    also at 1:20 did anyone notice that Day picked random and lucked up and got toss?? lucky guy or haxxors?

  • bless anyone who waited anxiously on the edge of their seats, all the while just waiting, wondering....where is Day9, where are you

  • Day9 does Glenn Beck on the whiteboard!

  • Day9 does Glenn Beck on the whiteboard!

  • I can't c nothing, the timer goes up but all I c is a black screen, the only vid of day9, is it broken?

  • Day9 went random and got Toss. No big deal.

  • WHOA! I put that on on my secondary monitor, forgot all about it, played loud music and then suddenly *WHAM* DAY9 IS LOUD!

  • WAVY HANDS!!! .... love it

  • if the top comment didnt giv me the time, i wouldve watched the whole intro. DAMN U

  • watched the whole 2 and a half hour video.

  • I have a question wtf is Rebecca Black doing in the suggestion box?

  • watched the whole thing

    i'm proud

  • My problem with D9 is that there's a lot of pointless talk. Yeah its fun for 30 seconds or a minute but im here to learn something not watch you talk about shit idc about or randomly thrust.

    An hour is not easy to get through and a lot of people don thave that time. Perhaps put a reduced editted versio, and a long version for the hardcore fans. Im sure you'll get more views wth shorter videos

    Because when I see a 1hr video, i'm intimidated.

  • @silver2zilver Because he totally does this thing for you, and for you alone. But I enjoy the "talk abouit random shit".

    If you would not have the time to watch your favorite tv-show, would you mail the station for making it shorter or later?

  • @schnatzpful

    Lolfanboy.

    But no, seriously. An hour about him telling us useless crap. LIke I said, he can make it shorter by cutting out the useless or less useful information.

    He COULD combine his talking with his videos. I understand he needs to think and talk and play and it's not easy multitasking. But he's playing the first 7 minutes of a game. That requires the absolute least amount of attention and brain power.

    He has a lot of views, but he'd get more if shotrned. all im sayin

  • @silver2zilver We're not all autistic and incapable of processing "small talk" like you are, though, kid. Some of us like a nice little distraction interspersed into otherwise "serious" discussion.

    Honestly, if he were to be 100% serious all the way through, then I would expect to have to pay for a text book and get a syllabus. Jeez.

  • Seriously, is there even a reliable counter to the 4gate?

    Because the problem is that you dont know if your opponent is 4gating you. So you have to assume the worst, which happens to be 4gate, so you kinda have to 4gate him anyways because that appears to be the best counter in the first place. A vicious circle. And why is that so? Because 4gate is ridiculously powerful. And Im saying that as a protoss player.

    Blizz HAS to do sth about that, cuz the current quote of 4gate vs 4gate is just sick.

  • @cocomoloco There's two ways that I can think of... If i know he's going heavy stalker, I like to go gas heavy, get several sentries, and use force fields to cut his army and let my zealot/stalker mix cut through half of his army. Then he's going to be on his heels the entire rest of the game.

    The other way I do it is a 2 gate super fast robo, getting a couple sentries to split their stalkers (on the ramp, assuming a narrow ramp-don't do this on a big ramp), and then eat them with immortals.

  • @cocomoloco 3 gate robo will ALWAYS beat a 4 gate with correct micro and scouting - if he has a pylon in your base its not the 4gate thats killing you its the fact that you dont know theres a base in your base. If he tries to put a pylon near the edge of your base and warp on high ground, once again the fact that you are not scouting is what is killing you. A couple of sentries with your basic mix of gateway units + a robo churning out immortals can hold your ramp indefinitely

  • @x1shortboy If I were in Tristan's position and knew he was Protoss, I wouldn't have failed the 4 Gate to begin with. Day[9]s build is incredibly greedy, trying to squeeze out so much and cutting the critical defensive units like the Sentry. Any Korean 4 Gate would've killed him. A better executed 4 Gate likely would've killed him. Any Void Ray opening would've killed him (Day[9] can't deny scouting of such a quick Robo). Also, this build ONLY works decently vs 4 Gate and maybe Blink Stalker.

  • Gosh. I watched the first hour and ten minutes before i realized this video is broken. Cant wait till he uploads the working version!

  • he shoulda walled off! :p

  • @MicksterZone You shouldn't wall off, experienced players would build a pylon at the bottom of your ramp, then make a unit run up your ramp to gain vision and start warping units into your base. This also applies to why force fields don't work very well in PvP.

  • w8 do you only take one geyser for a 4gate?

    and idt peoople go 4gate robo they prob expand first right?

  • w8 do you only take one geyser for a 4gate?

  • Could you love the sound of your voice anymore? I agree with the comments that this video could have been reduced to 15 minutes without the crap and (magic word coming:) editing.

  • @Sogarth

    Yea if he didnt love the sound of his voice, he wouldnt be making talking videos.

    If u dont like it, dont watch his videos and stop trolling

  • @Andrewcchew Get off you're high horse, man. The video is interesting but he drags it on unnecessarily long is all I'm saying. There is no reason for him to address the audience like we're 5 year olds, or tell us about his shirt and hug himself, or tell us about his love for Coca-Cola, or use MS Paint 'cause it gives him more face time. And furthermore there's a difference between trolling and just giving some personal advice. Notice I'm not here saying "F*** this and f*** you, you suck."

  • @Sogarth If you don't like that don't watch him. Hes been like that from the start and thats why he got the fans he has. I dont really like it but watch ocationally, but thats just the way he does his videos and he should keep doing it because it makes him unique even though you don't like it, a lot of people do.

  • @Jonereator2 Yeah i know Jonereator, I'm really not a hater or troll. I don't watch day9 because of this either, but I saw the title and it intrigued me so i watched this specific video. And to prove I'm not a hater I'll say that I really like Tastless, day9's brother casting the GSL. He has to talk BS because it's televised and has to fill the gaps between games, especially when Artosis is giving team talks. But this I just find pointless.

  • @Sogarth The video is dragged on and pointless just as your remarks about it are, if i may. No offence intended.

  • not sure about a non-sentry build, a 4 gate with 4 sentries feel so much more stable, mostly because you can get ur zealots to hit marines and marauders and block off/delay some reinforcing units by your opponent. they are very effective when it comes to saving your dudes from lings too

  • Question: Can you scout the 4 gate and go for the fast robo in time?

  • "oh crap! it didnt-!"

    

  • I thought this was a 2 hour long video of epic 4gate vids :'(

  • @Deckinickinic same

    

  • what the hell he chose random and protoss was magicly chosen

  • wtf? sean isn't drinking water?

  • holy shit this is a long upload ;)

  • There's a build with a 10 gate and a gas at 11 then cycore-robo asap (save cb and use for Nexus twice from 12-15), this allow you to get warp gate at about 5:40ish with 2 cb and at 6:00mark (where a 4gate usually hits) you could have 3 zealots and 2 immortals.

    However this build is weak against stargate play, and since you don't have a stalker the enemy will scout your early robo. He could then fake a 4 gate to switch to stargate.

    Takes a bit of micro to defend too.

  • Why does it take you over 10 minutes to say: "I'm gonna show some strategies against 4-gate.". It's nice to listen to you, thats not the problem, i just don't have all day.

  • @zolarnl Well to be fair his name is Day so clearly he does :P

  • Is there any way to refine builds without a friend while playing as zerg?

    Obviously you can't just drone as hard as possible and expect it to work in real play - is there some good benchmark for Zerg drone production in practice vs a negligible AI?

  • why do people use hotkeys for their gateways when they can just use w?

  • wouldn't i normal player would have expanding to support these gate ways in latter game econ?

  • Oh god I have school tomorrow but I must watch

  • Longest intro ever, sat through the whole thing.

  • I think 4 gate is optimum because did you see Kiwikaki's version, it was scary

  • I still think 4 gate is optimum, if I seen all those immortals at the top of your ramp I would probably just stop and get about 3-4 sentries and ff to lock you in then fast expand, since I will be using gas, so yeah I would say that definitely stops 4 gate, but it stops map control which I believe you stated was probably more important

  • And also how your friend tristan said, going to fast void ray from there would also work

  • @pikachuk111

    "Stop and get 3-4 sentries and do ff to lock you in"?

    With what gas, pray tell, since the optimum 4gate doesn't pick up the second gas...?

  • This might be one of the best dailies ever. Thanks!

  • ME:

    The enemy does fourgate? Robo→Immortal

    Enemy:Fuuuuuuuu

  • why is he making a third gate when he can barely support two?

  • Brainlightning?

  • holy shit thumb! Epic micro! very awesome

  • be papa john

  • A way i keep units constantly producing, is by making that second assimilater (for the 4 gate) and moving out a slight bit later, that way, instead of worrying about having insufficient funds,I can warp in more sentries,because I'll have a large gas build up. So rather than going stalker/zealot i'd go zealot sentry.or maybe a few stalkers and more zealot sentry.because i'll have LOTS of gas stocked up from the 4 warped zealots, you'll warp in 2-3 sentries 1 zealots. Works pretty good for me.

  • @corayis1 generally, this style of warpgate is made to catch your opponent off guard, before they can mass too many marauders or roaches. 1 minute makes a world of difference against your opponents.

  • Dude you're better at teaching than most of my teachers lol

  • 1:10:00

    

  • way to beat 4 warp gate: sentry.

  • @tooschoolforcool Your comment tells me that you haven't played PvP at Diamond or higher levels

  • @HJaySC so does his name, no one good listens to pink

  • @tooschoolforcool proxy pylon at ramp warp units on high ground

  • For Start: 1:10:00

  • I am looking forward to the double gas steal cannon rush.

    Can you just play it on ladder love so we can watch the rage?

  • K i am guan say how i beat it, i get

    Pylon(9),GW(12), Gas(13), Pylon(16), Cyber(16-17), Gas(17-18). (chronoing 2 sentries) Robo, GW, GW

    BTW time WG is done i have 2sentries 1 zealots, warp in3 more centries and keep FF ramp, a immortal is on its way, keep FF will get 2 immortals lots of zealots and like 4-6 stalkers.

    I am in diamond, leauge btw.

    Has only failed me twice cuz i didnt FF properly he got vision on ramp warped in on top of ramp.

  • It would be great if after an hour of BRAINSTORMTESTREFINE BRAINSTORMTESTREFINE BRAINSTORMTESTREFINE, Day9 just goes "fuck it, you know what? just 4gate in pvp... but do it better than your opponent."

  • I just 3gate robo and rape all protoss, i wait for them to attack, FF ramp till i ahve 2-3 immortals then push = rape

  • /watch?v=mcNCP7tGbIU&feature=r­elated

  • 3 stalker rush > 4 gate

  • @Robo120130

    1 sentry > 3 stalker rush

  • @SmashBrosBrawl The 3 stalker rush is not a push...the purpose of the 3 stalkers are to stop the zealot, stalker and probe proxi before 4 gate.

  • jugo 3 gate robo and block ur ramp twith sentrys till u get ur immoratl

  • I feel that if I hold off from a 4 gate and just defend they will gg and leave the game. I use siege tanks on the high ground and marines and marauders. If they don't gg then I can just run in and stomp on them either way :)

  • "usual circle cut" lol

  • this daily was boring.

  • @noamzilo This daily was a fine and entertaining way of teaching many SC2 players about ways to deal with a 4gate.

    Valuable life lessons included :p

  • @Savci008 this daily was NOT about dealing with a 4gate.

    it was about how to deal with A build that you find difficult to deal with. 4gate was just an easy example.

  • @noamzilo

    It was both. It showed how to deal with a 4gate and it taught you how to deal with a build

  • @noamzilo And, so why was it boring, then?

    Also, my statement still stands that this daily has tought many people about dealing with a fourgate. I never said that this was _only_ about it, dailies usually apply to several situations.

  • @Savci008 it was boring because he kept repeating the same thing, and no action was going on.

    this could have been shortened to 20 minutes easily.

  • @noamzilo Sure, it was a bit petetitive, but it wasn't all bad - and again, repetition is the...key to success :p

  • lol what happened here?

  • what about with the first test cut first zealot for gas then pump zealot sentry while going immortal.

  • what about the 3 stalker rush??

  • so glad i didnt download 1:10 of 720p blank video :p

  • @computergasm but it would look so much better than 360p!

  • Whats day9 studying?

  • @ProVODs he is studying math i think. not sure if its purly math but its some math at least =)

  • starts at 1:10:04

  • Pros use paint. Noobs use excel.

  • d9d272

  • OMG!!! BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH!!! .... Oh no, it start's at @1:10:05

  • Liquid tyler conqures himself all day long, he spends alot of time in single player refining; cleaning up, 0_0

  • Starts AT: 1:10:00

  • Why do you have to get warpgate as protoss i mean if your just trying to hold off aggresion and not trying to put any on yet seems like a waste of money for an upgrade that is usless until you have the opportunity to be aggresive (this coming from a zerg player though s dont hate :P)?

  • @NothernSymphony Its instant build and the warpgate cycle is faster than regular building. For instance, it would take longer to build two stalkers than to warp in a stalker and then wait for the cooldown and warp in another stalker.

  • @NothernSymphony not only do you get an extra production cycle in, but it syncs up your unit buildtime (4 pop at once instead of 4x1... also warp gate tech is basically free (50/50) the only cost is time...you'd be shooting yourself in the foot to skip it since there's almost nothing gained by skipping it

  • WHERE"S MONDAY FUNDAY? IT"S MONDAY AN ALREADY NINE!!!!!

  • hope he comes ou with next funday monday today =)

  • Well its never standard to get colossus on one base? That is just bad bad ! and as in the video the economy doesnt get hand in hand...

  • LOLOLOLL

  • Sean Day9 Plott, the man who invented the art of drawing electricity :)

  • but you'll have to scout with a probe, that changes everything!!!

  • but you'll have to scout with one of your probes, so that changes all the 'refinement'!

  • i hope you get raped by a bear for doing this.

  • day9, play a ladder game on the live stream and then do an analasys!!

  • @TobbzSC

    He can't do that because his main account is secret, if he would use his platinum account the opponents would be too easy for him.

  • @N0oDLX He could make it off stream one day and edit it so that he blacks out his own name

  • @TobbzSC that wont work a lot, at dimond or upper levels players like to play with alllllllllllllllll the concentration one can have, just talking its a enourmous distraction that can f up your game

  • hey day 9 i just gotta say i love your vids man theyve helped me a ton and i sincerely appreciate what you do here. i started on husky watching vids but no one compares to you, ive looked up many of ur daily's and everytime i cant help but smile and laugh with you man. i really hope i never watch all ur replays so i never run out of entertainment for my late nights. its 2:03 here n ur keeping me up but i appreciate it. i really wish i knew how to find ur stream so i could say hi and you rock.

  • Day[9] is amazing, but I do think he needs to show more Zerg strategies :/

  • Omg... Mass ghosts are a hard counter to very other unit in the game.... Especially the part where day9 successfully manages to use a combination of snipe, cloak and 12 tact nukes to destroy 1probe.... Simply amazing at 2:10:21

  • For the first 30 min he could have just said "If you got 4 gate you will be fucked with money later"

  • WOOOOOW LAAAAMMMME

    so pumped for a 2.5 hr video :(

  • lol fails tend to add up when you talk at the same time ^^

  • OH CRAP IT DIDN'T *smirk* 2:13:30

  • First 1 hour was so epic. Must watch again!

  • soo gay

  • wow ... failed dude

  • The first hour in 1080p is just amazing.

  • I think Day9s Videos we`re much more popular if they weren`t so long.

  • has he ever thought of assimilator replacing the early second gate, allowing a stlaker mix?

  • when u 4gate a toss, u want to be getting more zealots than stalkers.. if tristan went zealot heavy instead of stalker heavy he would have won .. considering that immortals are very ineffective against zealots

  • Gayest gamer. nice vid though :)

  • 34:17 just shows how OP the 4gate is! :)

  • i was excited for a 2 1/2 hour daily but then i sad panda'd...

  • Daily starts at 70:05

  • loving how he picked random as his race lol

  • I laughed so hard when Day9 killed his probe while chanting "Die!"

  • BRUINLIGHTNING

  • holy balls.

    

  • >Not making probes

    

  • Am I the only one to notice he chose RANDOM when he wanted to do 4-warp gate with Protoss and got Protoss anyways.

  • Why don't you just save the game at the point when you are at 14/assimilator then you don't have to drudge through from the beginning. This is what I do when I practise.

  • Tried it, the actuall working build. and worked fine! =D 6 PvP now won without 4gating... xD

    And im mid / high Diamond..! never actually took the time to try to figure how to counter it ... haha i knew my micro would beat any reg 6min~ 4gate if i do a Defensive 4gate.. ( sentries stalker ) with transition into a expand / robo at 8-9mins :) i just got tired of doing the typical 4gate agaisnt Protoss -_-

  • @mcmurder3 The difference is that your "defensive 4 gate" is very gas demanding. Not that it's an invalid choice; just different.

  • @MrSh0time yess i know it is Gas intensive ;) thats y i get 2gas asap.. But now that i figured that 1/1/1 works pretty well agaisnt 4gates imm not doin that anymore haha ;)

  • when people 4 gate me as protoss i just go 2 gate + forge + cannons and add gate's accordingly

    cannons cost 25 minerals more than stalkers and no gas allowing for sentry play.

    The biggerst thing you must focus on when doing this is building placement. If possitions right 2 cannons can defeat a protoss because this build allows for alot of sentries.

  • hes like u get to c me play against my friend in such a way tht he thinks we think he has no friends

  • 1:10:05 is when it starts

  • It was a 2v2 placement match (For season 2) and my ally died within the first few minutes of the game to a reaper rush. I was teching to blink and had observes in one of the two opponents bases (The one with the reapers) then a massive army of void rays comes into my base which I defeat and mount a counter attack then a swarm of reapers enters my base which I rush back to defend it went on like this until l lose I leave to attack my base is attacked the reaper void ray combo was devastating

  • APRIL FOOLS?! O_O

  • Me thinks someone needs to coach Day9 out of the bronze league for video encoding xD

  • wtf is going on here. Black empty video? how dare you waste the internetzzzzzzzzz

  • I wonder if getting extremely fast sentries, forcefielding the ramp and pushing out collossi would be better

  • best daily ever, this is exactly what i was looking for. wish it kept going

  • The Zerg logo is centered on your heart instead of spine. I think it's better like that.

  • Wat b
